Manage real estate investment trust (REIT) accounting, regulatory reporting, and shareholder servicing through coordinated workflows built for the retail alternatives market.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
Fund administration for non-traded and private REITs
Experienced administration for non-traded and private REITs
REITs give your investors access to real estate market opportunities that are typically difficult to reach through traditional funds. As demand for alternative asset strategies and portfolio diversification grows, REITs help you deliver exposure to institutional-quality real estate strategies while offering the potential for competitive, tax-advantaged distributions within a regulated investment structure.
Ultimus supports you with an experienced, flexible service model and a comprehensive suite of solutions that spans the full REIT lifecycle, delivering end-to-end support from fund formation through ongoing operations.

Support investor distribution and share repurchase workflows
